Bending Towards Light

By Ben Gunn

Extracts of Reviews for Rachel and Givandra's book
On Eagle's Wings Vol.2: 'Their manner is quite often light-hearted and a touch mischievous, however their concerns are always of a serious nature. Peppered throughout their discourses are simple exercises designed to put into practice the concepts brought forth.'
'I found Bending Towards Light a delightful read and one which I am constantly tempted to return to. It's the type of book that you can open on any page and start reading.'

Southern Crossings: 'The contents of Rachel and Givandra's book are designed to initiate practical basic changes in your life.'

The Planet: 'A collection of letters that provide interesting and insightful reading.'

Some quotes from Rachel and Givandra:

'You are on earth for primarily a self-exploration. The earth IS a reflection of you, and you are the earth's reflection too. We cannot hope to evolve unless we first study this reflection and understand its manifestations

'The need for love is the need to belong to the whole. So belong to the whole and you will never feel that you are alone.'

'The old ways are seen to be redundant, and the search is now under way for new tributaries to discover. This writing is one such tributary, as indeed there are many others, but it is your voyage entirely and you should not be concerned about its origins so much, as to how is the work of use to you? Has it a structure which resonates within myself at this point?'

About The Author

Preface

To attempt to introduce this book is in one way most daunting. For you, the reader, this book is a finished act, complete in all its respects, waiting to be inspected by you. To me, the channeller and compiler of this volume, it's a more complex issue as the book has grown and threaded its way throughout the last four years of my life, connected to, yet independent of the various happenings of my everyday.

To say that this book grew, as my relationship with Rachel and Givandra has slowly grown is the best description I can think of. From an initial interest in Seth's writings, and a meeting of like-minded friends, via dallying with Ouija boards and a very friendly spirit called Betty (who familiarised me with many psychic concepts in a light-hearted manner), to automatic writing for friends, to finally, the declaration of the presence of Rachel and Givandra, and the starting of this volume and a whole new practical chapter in my life.

I hope, if you wish, that this volume can gracefully initiate practical, basic changes in your life, and free you up to expand your appreciation of the presences that consist of you and your world.

Good luck and an enjoyable passage.

– Ben Gunn January 1st. 93.

Preface to the 2nd Edition

I decided to reissue this first slim book from Rachel and Givandra to coincide with the publication of their 3rd channelled book 'White Tracers.'

I have just concentrated on fixing up grammatical and spelling errors that went under the radar when I first published . But the sentiment remains the same, I hope this book will of use to its readers in making their lives more fulfilling and richer in experience.

'The need for love is the need to belong to the whole. So belong to the whole and you will never feel you are alone'

Introduction

Whatever the purpose of our discussions is to differing people, the impetus that is carried forward from our journey through time and space is timelessness itself. In this discussion we are hoping to spend some time on the necessary differentiations between your ordered senses as experienced in your world, and our appreciation of your senses in other domains. We are not here to prey or delve into how your earth should re-arrange its affairs, that's up to you.

That you are our kinspeople, our brothers and sisters, the children of this domain, we mean that verity as it is, is not to be postponed any longer; the realisation of the possibilities of the meetings of mind, spirit and emotions. We wish to distil to you information derived from our perspective. That is not to say there should not be other viewpoints, there are, but we believe in a more 'rarefied' existence that we are capable of a wider perspective. We perceive your planet in its rainbow colours, its effervescent distillations of energy, pulsing and erupting like solar flares in a multicolored dimension. We don't appreciate earth as a gross and unworthy planet, rather we appreciate its long standing evolution in the minds and hearts of its inhabitants and viewers.

The connections between yourselves and others in differing dimensions are far more numerous than you could ever appreciate. There are whole colonies of spirits involved in the evolutionary cycles of your planet. But paramount amongst this, despite gory stories to the contrary, is the divine hope that each of you sparks will ignite a flare of truth for yourself and others to follow. You are here on earth for primarily a self-exploration. The earth IS a reflection of you, and you are the earth's reflection too. We cannot hope to evolve unless we first study this reflection and understand its manifestations. This is not to say that you should categorise your life into good or bad, or, any other people from the same perspective. But understand, the tributaries of knowledge percolate through the most dense blocks of stone.

Nobody on this earth will be uninfluenced by the spread of a lighter and a more informed knowledge which is being dispersed within the world even now on many differing planes. The old ways are seen to be redundant, and the search is now under way for new tributaries to discover. This writing is one such tributary, as indeed there are many others, but it is your voyage entirely and you should not be concerned about its origins so much, as how is the work of use to you. Has it a structure which resonates within myself at this point? If not don't be of heavy heart about this, all know ledges have come to be shared in differing particles throughout your histories and in differing densities. But we hope by this work to free you all up dear readers, from the necessity of leading lives that are pre-determined by the habits that have been installed in you from a very early age.

We feel the first step in our exploration is to identify for you all the main consequences of your belief structures, how they have come to be seen as a rigidity within your lives.

How inflexibility of belief in some quarters is seen as a virtue, a strength, instead of a horrifying prospect of no growth and stultified energies. It is important in the years ahead because of the traumas that will emerge from time to time in differing forms upon your planet, that people are flexible in their understanding of situations as they come about within their lives. We don't have to follow doggedly a single line throughout our life unless we wish to do so. Many understandings can cross-fertilise; it's not a weakness to change an opinion when your knowledge of a situation has widened in its scope and deepened in its understandings. So depth of vision internally, as it must come to be by rights external, is the primary need of your societies; and you as individuals will come to see the full possibilities. This does not mean that they don't exist or don't prosper in full flight for other people within your world.

Memories of past events, even of past lives have for a while now resonated within all of you. If you can learn to tap the source of this well-springing energy then change can be a triumphant procession for you within your lifetime. A long litany of struggle and of failed attempts is not the prerequisite for a joyful and fulfilling life. Pain and struggle are only a minor necessity within your world.

We would like lastly to wish you from our most sincere sector serious portions of ourselves that you come to discover in a practical and a vibrant way the beauty of your world and your existence in it.

With love and God blessings from all that is, and has and will be existing

– Rachel and Givandra.

People like flowers and nature because they show perfection in intent, and because they display no guilt of identity'

Chapter One

Perhaps you have secretly given up on the possible hope that you can make changes in your life. Realise that this passive attitude is not something that any sane person would countenance. You don't have to be sane to prosper in this world, but it helps, in that if you select just a small sample of your actions of the previous day, you will be surprised at how many of these actions are based on the premise of a hopeful conclusion. You eat because you have hope, you listen to the radio or read a paper because you have hope. Nevertheless there can be a marked difference in utilisation and development of incoming data between two people depending on their respective outlooks and beliefs. Rest assured that your inner self yearns for a happy and fruitful conclusion to your endeavours.

DON'T follow the dictates of other people or other teachers in your past; follow your own inner dictates more and more. Everything is up for perusal and grabs! For you the most important task is to develop your own inner potentials realising them in concrete forms readily recognised by you in your life. Forget your negative dilemmas, just that, it's as simple as that, you don't have to work through them. Remember that all these past dilemmas are alive and kicking in your probable selves; leave it to them to work it out.

Mould your own life as you would a masterpiece, it's your own creation. Just biologically look at the changes that your body has initiated partly from your own wishes. Change is happening day by day, hour by hour within you, nothing you can do can stop this flow. Stop this flow and you would no longer exist on this plane. So the idea of stopping thoughts etc. is a stupid one. Thoughts are your forward patrols from your desires. Listen to what they are saying to you.

Maybe you've made some prior connections to your past lives in a roundabout manner. You don't have to speculate too deeply, your imagination may tend to play tricks with you; confusing wish fulfilments with actual living attitudes that dwell within your psyche. Repeat counting to ten for a while and try to assimilate what colours and emotions flow through your brain. You will be surprised, if the exercise is repeated enough, at the variety of colour and attitudes that surface there. Some if not all of these could be an indicator for you of past personages in your terms. Remember that you will be able to put together almost any sort of emotion or experience possible, your dictionary is that vast. Your focused form of life activates usually, (except in exceptional states of confusion or bewilderment), only one or two experimental exercises at one time. You'll find that the range is not so large that you cannot begin to widen your horizons a little, and to delve into what lurks below and around your focused identity.

A good analogy is that when you focus your eyes on something, the surrounding terrain or landscape disappears into a blur, it's still there though, influencing and giving form to what you are looking at. A vase in empty space would look strange indeed. Likewise your life is like when you focus; your probable lives and past lives all exist, forming the landscape around your focused life. Your linear understanding of time and of life experiences blinds you to how near these other domains and personages are, they are lurking just literally out of the comer of your eyes, influencing your life like the surrounding terrain influences the pot. You could not exist except in a very limited way without this total interplay and interaction.

Muse for a while then, for a few seconds, and see your new thoughts as in a new form: ghost shadows of past and future lives echoing within the corridors of your brain. Search for clues; try this for a week or so, and see if you can come up with a few characters if you like who are connected to your life now. See them as alter-egos for now. It doesn't matter if the edges are blurred. We all can't see captains of ships or kings in castles first off!; and perhaps you should be a little suspicious if these forms do present themselves, they might indicate a past life as an actor for instance, not that you were a king or queen. In other words keep definitions out of it at this stage: conclusions are like full stops, they prevent further discovery and inventiveness.

Since you were born you have assimilated a multitude of possible reactions to possible situations. They are your stock in trade as it were, enabling you to meet all social and interior contingencies. However, when you first come up against groups like this one, you are thrown more into limbo, because by its very nature it is concerned to venture into new areas of endeavour, new 'imagining'. Imagining is a key word here as 'imagining' is one of the main ways that you control social manners etc. When you meet someone new you 'imagine' in a way that the occurrence will follow set procedure. Your 'imagining' in this instance
